The purpose of this research is to analyze Lawrence’s view of Male Supremacy in ‘Tetra-Love’ of The Plumed Serpent. Lawrence is called as an anti-feministic writer or a feministic writer according to his view toward woman all through his works. He dealt with male priority and female submission in the later work, The Plumed Serpent. In this Novel, Kate who married to Cipriano gives up her self and submits to the strong phallic power of a man. Teresa who married to Ramon doesn’t insist on her individuality and tries to make Ramon into a big, golden full glory of a man. Lawrence’s male supremacy is revealed through the relationship of ‘Tetra-Love’ between Kate and Cipriano, between Ramon and Teresa. The male supremacy to the female is achieved when the man is active and dominative and the woman is submissive and dependent. Lawrence strongly expresses his anti-feministic point of view that the man must display the strong leadership to revive the power and the right of the man, and the woman gives up self and the independence and submits to the strong man leader. Thus, this work shows Lawrence’s side as a male supremacist, and another world view he built in his later years of life.
